Its location offers a quiet base still within reasonable reach of Edinburgh's attractions.

the hotel does show signs of age and some updating could improve the guest experience. small details in the bathroom needed attention.

classical buildingeasy walk
The building felt very classical and elegant. It seemed like an art gallery. The location was close to the city center with groceries nearby! Restaurants were within a ten-minute walk. The location offered a beautiful downtown setting, and the staff was helpful. Coffee and pastry were available in the morning. the front desk offered 24/7 assistance. I felt at ease with the daily housekeeping service. The room had super tall ceilings, I found it wonderful! The train and tram stops were very close, maybe a two-minute walk. It was an easy walk to the Castle area..
The hotel was already expensive. Plus it was during a busy event. So, I paid a lot for a small room, though it had a tiny bathroom.

I loved how close I was to the train station. I could easily walk there! The room had everything I needed. It felt very spacious. The staff were so friendly and always ready to help, which I really appreciated. The period details added a special touch to my stay!
The walls seemed a bit thin. I could hear some noise from the hallway.

convenient locationlight snacksearly luggage dropdated roomdamp smellunfixed tap
The location was very convenient. It was easy to get around the area. Light snacks and beverages were available in the morning, I found that nice. The hotel let me drop off my bag early. That helped.
The place is dated. I noticed rooms full of old broken furniture. It smelled of damp. The carpets were threadbare in places. In the bathroom, the tap was not fixed to the sink. The shower kept falling out of its holder.
